Unfortunately we weren't able to meet Alberto himself since he was visiting his daughter in Cancun. But someone was there to open the door at exactly the time we had said. The location is in a good neighboorhood, but quite far away from the centre. Probably good if your by car or visiting a conference, but a bit far out for us on foot. Appartment is quite big and the kitchen is fully equiped for cooking meals including some core inredients. Place was very clean and could be kept cool with airco and vans. We unfortunately had some bad luck in our own travels in Merida which turned out to be contagious for our stay here. Somehow there was a problem with the toilet. Basin wouldnt refil. Alberto offered to send a plumber, but we managed to work around it by refilling the basin with a pan. Also we had a bit of a scare when a big cockroach turned up in the last night after which we overhauled the place to look for more. This showed us that the appartmemt is really clean so it clearly came from outside. So although this stay had some problems for us I think these were incidents and Alberto seemed a kind host who responded fast to the toilet problem.

This is a VERY nice apartment for the price. Fully equipped, with WiFi, cable TV and A/C in the bedroom (GOOD to have in July in Merida, let me tell you) on a quiet cul-de-sac 3 blocks from a major street, the Paseo de Montejo. It is very convenient to Wal-Mart for groceries and such, Starbucks, the casa de cambios in the Fiesta Americana Hotel (very annoyingly, the nearby banks would not exchange my dollars; this also happened in Valladolid, so don't know what that was about) and if you need first class bus tickets on ADO, there is an office/station right behind the Fiesta Americana.
That being said, it is NOT convenient to the Grand Plaza downtown, where much of "the action" (museums, music and dance performances, cathedral, "Domingo en Merida") is located. It is a good 25-30min walk (after the cooling afternoon rains or early in the morning) but taxis are plentiful on the Paseo do Montejo (35 pesos approx) as is the Itzimna bus (7 pesos.)
I never met Alberto and his man Santos doesn't speak English but Alberto was quick to respond to any questions and I had no issues at all with the apartment during a 10-day stay.
Definitely recommend for price and amenities.

Excellent accommodation, and we enjoyed our stay.
We read through previous reviews so knew what to expect, and it suited us perfectly.
We loved our stay in Merida, such a pleasing place to spend a few days. Only the main square itself suffers from any vibe of tourism really, and we loved one find in particular, a bar named 'La Negrita' that had some great live Cuban bands playing in the late afternoons.
Thank you also to our host who was very quick in answering any of our questions by email.

Perfetta per il mio soggiorno di 7 giorni. Terrazza fantastica per cenare la sera. Situata a 10 minuti dal centro e 4 dal supermercato.
The apartament was perfect for my 7 days in Merida. The terrace is terrific, had awesome dinners there. It's located very near the center and the supermarket.

Alberto was very nice and always available for help and support. He came bringing keys at 1 am when I arrived late with my flight and was always very responsive and supportive via email. The wifi worked very well, and the place is close to a supermarket, the Paseo de Montejo, bikes and cars rental shops, etc.
I was really happy with the apartment, although I must admit it was a bit hot without AC in May (which is one of the hottest months of the year). I would definitely recommend the place to others.

The apartment is really nice, great value for money. Fully furnished kitchen/living room, big bedroom and bathroom, all very neat and clean. It is in a safe area, very close to Paseo Montejo, and a 15 minute walk from the city center... Not too big of a deal: a taxi ride is around 30-40 Mexican pesos (2-3€). Alberto is an excellent host: he provided all the advice needed and was very helpful during our stay. When we asked whether there was a dry cleaner nearby, he even offered to pick up our clothes and bring them to the dry cleaner! Very recommendable!

I also enjoyed the stay in the apartment. It was nice to sit at night on the terrace. The apartment is not very big, but it's all there, what I needed.
There is no parking on the property, just on the street. But the area is safe.
